The history of the search for n specific
remedy for alcoholic excess is the story
of a series of melancholy failures, like
the search for the philosophers stone or
the invention of the flying machine.
IhaCkrray presents one of his characters
in the act of irrigating his interior with
small beer after an excess of punch at
NuuXhall, in the Waterloo year, declaring
that at that period soda water was un-
known. Byron, however, who survived
Waterloo only nine years, was familiar
with the more modern remedy, and
recommends sermons and soda water"
the day after. To this simple p~rescrip
ton was aiterward added that of red her
ring, perhaps as a provocative to more
roia water. In modern practice bromide
of potash has superseded these old fash
Toned palliutives, while many topers pin
their faith to private prescriptions of their
own.-Ihc Argonaut.

A BROOKLYN BUTTON FACTORY
How the Various Kinds Are Made-Men
and Women Employed.

How the Various Kinds Are Made-Men
and Women Employed.
There were about twenty girls at work
making or painting buttons. The power,
drop and foot presses were in constant
motion. In making metal buttons the
sheet is first taken and put through the
power press which turns out more shells
in a minute than would fill a bushel
basket. These almost ~shapeless bits of
brass or whatever the material may be
are then carried over to the drop, which
falls on them with a heavy thud, and the
tiny things of future use come out of it
with a rim formed around the shell. The
eye maker Is then put in use, and next a
machine called the closer is called upon
to perform its duty and the button is fin
lshed except in color, which looks a dull
yellow, but this is remedied and the metal
buttons show their brightness by being
put through a burning process in acid
Jars which resemble ice cream freezers.
Then they are cooled off in running water
and taken to the stamp press, which
turns quickly, and out they come with
the name of the maker stamped in the
shell part.
There are made in these establishments
a thousand different varieties of metal
buttons mostly for women's wear. Some
are handsome to look at and others are
not, but all go through the same process
of manufacturing. The fancy buttons
are taken to the painters, whose nimble
fingers are continually busy while put
ting on the finishing touches. In max
ing cloth buttons a man has ten LAYERS of
material before him from out of which.
by hand work, he punches the same
number of what are called toughs at one
time and the whole operation works like
a flash of lightning, SO quick is the oper-
alton performed. The toughs are hen
taken alongside the shells, where one of
the work women attempted to show me
how q cloth button was made and fin
ished, but while listening to the explana-
ton of the work by the young lady, the
button was ready to go on the card and
be shipped for Europe or anywhere else.
She merely placed the cloth or tough
in the closing machine and the eve in
the tube, after which the two were CON
nected and a delicate movement of the
foot did the rest, as the shell, eve and
tough were united and the cloth button
was completed. Glove, shoe and all
other kinds of buttons are manufactured
in the same way. l was shown a cloth
shoe button that at one time was pat
ented and a capital of 800, 900 invested
IN its manufacture. In another factory
my attention was called to a metal but
ton that will, when thoroughly known,
do away with needle and thread. 1t is
fastened in he article of clothing by a
self locking machine that is as cunning
as 1t Is simple.-Brooklyn Eagle.

The genial and popular actor, w. J.
Florence, who was in the Restigouche
country killing salmon as usual this sum-
mer, had an experience with flags which
was for a time quite exciting. In front
of Fiorence's amp ON the Restigouche
two tall flag poles were set up, and
English and American flags were kept
flying. The poles were out by the Indian
guide without any special attention
being paid to their size by Mr.. Florence,
One day a party Of Englishmen and
Canadians came down the river in q boat
when Mr.. Florence was absent from the
camp and only an old Indian in charge.
On the actors return the Indian said
that he had been warned by a party pass
ing by that the flags must be changed or
come down.
Mr.. Florence wa puzzled. He looked
at the flags and looked at the Indian.
The Indians face was a blank and Flor
ence might as well have tried to read his
answer to the riddle in the stars Of the
heavens as in the stars and bars of the
flying ensigns. "What did you say to
them2" asked Mr.. Florence. The sturdy
old woodsman replied: me tell 'em Mr..
Florence put 'em up and they not come,
down unless Mr.. Florence say So" Again
Mr.. Florence looked up at the flags, and
it suddenly flashed across his mind that
the objection lay in the fact that the pole
for the American flag was about ten feet
higher than the on which the English
banner was displayed, and that in this
difference between the poles had lain the
objection of his chance visitors. He i'm
mediately gave directions to nave the
poles made of equal length, and when on
the following day the party of DIRECTORS
again hoated by the camp it was evident
that his perception had beer right from
the fact that they cheered for both flags
and for both nations with great hearth
ness.-New York Tribune.

In the middle of the Colorado desert
there is a curious depression in the earth's
surface, through which the Southern
Pacific railroad runs. The lowest point
is 260 feet below the sea level. and here
is n great body of salt, more pure than
any known to commerce, and in an
abundance that may supply the world if
all other should be exhausted.
From "A point on the road called Indio
the descent is rapid to his place Of salt.
1t was once an inland sea from which
the waters have apparently passed away
10y evaporation, leaving a salt deposit
that resembles ice. Standing upon its
margin, we loOk upon a perfectly level
and white crust of salt, some thirty or
forty miles in length and perhaps twenty
in width. A tramway is laid over the
crust to a distance of more than a mile,
over which a steam dummy and train of
freight cars run to the mill where the
salt is ground. Beyond the mill a smaller
engine pushes its smaller cars further out
upon the salt crust where the salt is
gathered.
The process of collecting is very
simple. Laborers, provided each with u
wheelbarrow, shovel and adze, go out
upon the salt field, pick the surface to
the depth of an inch or two, gather bar
row loads and wheel them to the cars.
This salt crust varies in thickness; in
some places it is but n few inches above
the mud and water, and in some places
nearly five feet in thickness. Liverpool
salt must be kiln dried before being
ground. Nature sends this to the mill so
dry that it may be ground as fine as
flour. At the mill it is bagged and
marked for shipment, and is ready for
table or dairy use. This salt Is 90 per
cent. pure, and is placed upon the mar
ket as New Liverpool" 1t is I'M
doubleday the best and purest salt in the
market.-The Argonaut.

MIDDLE AGE.

When russell apples turn each bronzed cheek
To beg a final ripeness from the sun
When the first frost with pencil fine and true
The tinting of the leaves has just begun
When all the tumults of the spring are DER,
And the enchanting summer smiles no more
Then nature still can turn a fair, bright page
and blend all ioysin the years middle age.
To all the rustic joys of summer, spring,
The hazel copse can add its store of wealth.
The nests are empty, but the birdlings gay
Now dream their own sweet dreams of love By
by stealth.
The spring was htful and the summer shy,
But autumn, in her robes OF wondrous dye,
Ponders how she can make each day more fair.
So hangs a tender haze within the air.
And so in life, when on the fair white brow
The lovely tints of gray begin to show,
The heart throbs with n deep and tender love
That htful early years can never know.
We see our nestlings mate in their glad spring,
Yet know their love is not so grand a thing
As it will be when autumn's glory sheds
The rapture OF all seasons on their heads.

In certain parts of France not only
peasants, but well to do cafe proprietors,
cabmen, tramcar drivers and conductors
wear ''sabots'' in winter time, not the
common, clumsy, all wood sabot, but
with uppers OF stiff leather, the soles
only being of wood. They are called
''soques," and are worn with wooden
stockings and an extra stout sock, shaped
like an ordinary elastic sock, with the
toe cut off, called a ''chausson," drawn
over the stocking, so as to prevent the
heel and instep from being unduly
rubbed. Children, from the time they
walk, wear them, and run about in them
just as well as in boots, and never have
wet feet.-Boston Transcript.

Mr.. Daintree, indeed, found by expert
ment that if a spcCk of gold were placed
III q solution Of the chloride, the gold
would gradually grow into a small grain
ON any piece of wood or cork introduced
into the liquid. In other words, the
metal contained in the chloride would
come out from its combination as native
gold, and unite with the tiny speck of
pure metal which served it as a nucleus.
1t is not improbable that the gold III
quartz got similarly deposited round a
common center, so that in the most literal
sense it may perhaps be rue Cin spite of
Arlstotle's dogmatio statement to the con-
trary) that money grows, though very
slowly.
1t is a pleasant thought indeed, for the
poor man, to know that gold is even now
still growing. Mr.. Brough Smyth has
shown that it a be deposited nowadays
III appreciable quantities within compare
lively short periods. Bits of mineralized
timber and beams from the galleries of
the older workings in Australian mines
have been found to exhibit, under the
microscope, particles of gold, intermixed
with crystals of iron pyrites, all through
the central parts of the wood; and this
gold must, of course, have gathered there
from solution in water during the few
years that have elasped since the first dis
covery of the precious metal in Australia.
MIR. Uhrich similarly notes that in the
gold drifts auriferous pyrites is often
found incrusting or replacing roots and
twigs, and samples of such gold bearing
wood, when submitted to an assay, have
yielded amount of the pure metal vary
ing from a few pennyweights to several
ounces per ton. Mr.. II. A. Thomson
further mentions a specimen of pyrites
which had gathered in the center Of an
old tree trunk, and which yielded at the
rate of as much as thirty ounces.-Corn-
hill Magazine.

Our little son will be four years of age

Eight years before Columbus discovered
America an old Portuguese sailor named
Diego Cam went cruising down the coast
of West Africa until he came to a great
river, on whose south bank he set up n
big white stone and carved an inscription
upon it celebrating his discovery. 1t was
the mighty Congo, and for many years
the famous Pedra Padrao stood on the
shore bearing silent witness to the old
sailors achievement. Years later, when
all eyes were turned to the New World,
the Congo was almost forgotten, and
when it next attracted notice the Pedra
Padrao had disappeared. The spot where
1t stood has for centuries been known us
Padrao Point. Three or four months
ago Baron von Schwebin, the Swedish
traveller, heard from some natives of a
large fetch stone hidden in the tall
jungle grass ut some distance from the
beach. 1t was only after long p~aIavers
with the chiefs that he obtained permis-
sion 20 visit the revered object. He
found to his delight the vcritable Fcdra
Padrao, its well known inscription only
partially effaced. This famous monu-
ment of a great discovery will doubtless
be treasured hereafter as one of the most
interesting relics of the early navigators.

Housekeeping in Martinique would
seem very queer to American house
wives. In the first place how would they
like to see their maid servant, cook,
housemaid and all, in fact, appearing
upon the scene at any moment, in draw
ing room, dining room, in undress uni
form? What a revelation this national
costume was to me! The natives have,
Notwithstanding this scantiness of cloth
ing, the redeeming quality of cleanliness.
The houses are furnished to suit the
climate, Vienna bent wood and rattan be-
ing the f~avorite styles. There are some
few exceptions to this rule; when the
people are so thoroughly French, they
must initiate the customs of their mother
country and fill their apartments with
upholstered easy chairs and divans, Civ
ing the whole a most stutfy and inappro-
pirate effect. The floors are without ex-
ception bare, being relieved by an
occasional carpet rug. Most Of the ga
Ions and dining rooms or galleries. as
they are termed in creole. are paved.
Some are very artistic, in cOlOred tiles;
most of them, however, in simple red
tiles about six inches square. These floors
are secured usually twice a week, which,
in addition to the paved courtyard, also
to undergo the same process, makes no
little occupation for one servant. and it
generally falls upon the housemaid. The
CrColes pride themselves upon their bou-
doris and sleeping apartments. The fur
niture is very elaborate, even among peo-
pie in moderate circumstances, and it
necessitatcs n deal of labor to keep it in
order. They are very eXacting of the
housemaid in this respect. Judging from
what l have seen, l should say that many
hours We're spent simply in polishing the

Says a gentleman who lives in British
Columbia: The way the Canadian Pa

laughable from an economic point of
